Grab your Cosmic Thinking Putty of choice with included Glow Charger.Free Crazy Aaron's Constellation Chart.Found along the celestial equator, Aquila is best seen in the northern summer sky. Taken from the Latin word for eagle, Aquila was revered in Greco-Roman mythology as it represents the bird that carried Zeus or Jupiter's thunderbolts. Different cultures and countries have adopted their own constellations, but most of what we see and learn about today was internationally recognized in the early 20th century with 48 Western constellations based in Geek mythology and 12 zodiac constellations. Typically you'll find shapes like animals, creatures, mythological characters (ex- Orion) or objects (ex - the Big Digger). Constellations are groups of stars that form an imaginary outline or pattern on the celestial sphere.
One of these systems is star constellations. The unique speckled glow of the putty is like looking at the night sky.Īstronomers, Astrologers and Theologians through the ages have named, classified and defined the stars, creating systems for organizing them. Our glow in the dark Cosmic® collection is inspired by Crazy Aaron's lifelong love of astronomy and all things space with names like Northern Lights, Milky Way and Star Dust. Stargazing has been a favorite pastime of mankind for millennia and Crazy Aaron's® strives to encourage that fascination with Thinking Putty® colors that capture the magic of starlight.
